The problem is that, even if these commodities do provide what they promise in the short term, the twin (and highly compatible) logics of capitalism and desire will ensure that all commodities eventually lose their magic (the clothes fall out of fashion, the car gets old, repeated viewing of the film makes everything that happens seem predictable and boring).
